The Lakers' first preseason game was against the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 5.

This game is also the first game after the Warriors lost Durant, although the Warriors Curry, Thompson, Green Big Three are all in good shape and because of the butterfly effect, all remain healthy, but the lack of Durant still makes the Warriors' strength fall off a cliff, although the championship odds list before the new season can only be ranked fourth, inferior to the Nets, Clippers and Wang Feng's Lakers.

As the opponent who was eliminated by the Lakers in the Western Conference finals last season, the Warriors and the Lakers are also enemies, but as a preseason, the two sides did not move seriously, just symbolically exchanged each other.

Wang Feng, Butler, Curry, Thompson and others all played less than 20 minutes, mainly because the team's bench rotation players played on the court.

In the end, the Warriors won the game with a deeper and richer bench background.

A not-so-important preseason game exposed another problem for the Lakers, which was that the bench was much weaker than last season.

Last season, the main offensive points on the Lakers' bench were Rose and Kuzma, a guard and a forward, who could also block and cooperate with each other, and played very well.

But in the new season, Rose was poached with a high salary, and Kuzma was promoted to the starting lineup. Curry and Poole, but the level is significantly not as good as last season, especially Jordan. As a first-year rookie, Poole's level is far from being comparable to the Poole who can provide firepower assistance to Curry a few seasons later.

But then again, although the strength of the bench has been reduced, the strength of the Lakers' starting lineup is much stronger than last season.

Wang Feng served as the starting point guard, making up for the Lakers' only shortcomings on the court, and the current Lakers starting five positions all have three-point shooting capabilities, including two interior players, Kuzma and Lopez.

While the offensive firepower is extremely strong, the Lakers can also maintain super mobility and defensive intensity, and the overall strength can be unique in the league.

Although the starting lineup didn't play much in the first game of the preseason, it still brought some peace of mind to the originally nervous Lakers management.

After the failure of the first preseason game, the Lakers flew to China, and under the arrangement of the league, the Lakers' next few preseason games will be played in several cities in China, which is also an attempt by the league to further link with China.

This is clearly a win-win situation.

Wang Feng, as the first person in Huaguo, has an unprecedented reputation in China, and Wang Feng can be seen playing preseason games in China, and a large number of fans flock to it, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

However, no one expected that in such a warm atmosphere, the breaking of news was like pouring a basin of cold water on a raging flame.

The general manager of the Rockets, Mo Gou, still posted on his Twitter that was enough to make everyone in China angry.

In just one night, the NBA has gone from a basketball game with extremely high attention and ratings in China to the object of everyone's shouting.

CCTV Sports has urgently suspended all broadcasts of NBA-related games, while the NBA's preseason games in China have also been temporarily suspended, and a series of related related events of the Lakers and Nets that have arrived in Shanghai have also been canceled.

The Internet is full of all kinds of verbal and written criticism of Morey and the NBA, involving the bottom line, which is intolerable to any Chinese person.

Within less than two hours of Morey's remarks, Wang Feng's social accounts of many people at home and abroad were updated, and a 10,000-word long article denounced Morey's behavior, the words were so fierce that it was not too much to describe it with swearing, and even at the beginning of this long article, Wang Feng called the other party Mo Dog mercilessly, without any sense of convergence at all.

As a former senior keyboard warrior in China, Wang Feng is well versed in various techniques of spraying people, and his scolding is extremely damaging, which makes many Chinese fans applaud.

However, only ten minutes later, the alliance officials urgently contacted Wang Feng, hoping that he could delete the long post posted on social media to reduce the situation and unnecessary contradictions.

Wang Feng hung up the phone directly.

As a traverser, he knows too well what the NBA league has done in this matter since then.

"Is this called free speech? Morey can say, I can't do it, it's just a bunch of double-standard dogs. ”

Wang Feng actually knew the attitude of the NBA league for a long time, and he also knew what kind of countermeasures they planned to take, so although he received the call, he did not feel angry because of it, but was very calm, and even what he was going to do next had already been planned with the public relations team of Team Yao.

On October 7, Morey spoke out again in the midst of overwhelming verbal and written criticism, which seemed to be an apology on the surface, but in fact he was only under pressure to remove himself from the NBA, and only to bear the responsibility of making statements and bearing the corresponding consequences in his personal capacity.

In the early morning of October 8, the NBA commissioner also publicly responded to the incident, and expressed respect for Morey's right to free speech and support him.

The NBA president's remarks can be regarded as a complete conclusion on this matter.

In response, CCTV Sports announced that it would cease all cooperation with the NBA, including but not limited to the live broadcast and broadcast of NBA preseason, regular season and playoffs and other related events.

Immediately after, Wang Feng's public relations team also issued a statement that Wang Feng would refuse to play in the NBA preseason and all subsequent games between the Lakers and the Houston Rockets in the regular season, as an action to express protest against Mogou's related remarks and the league's handling of the situation.

Wang Feng chose to be tough on the front, and the Lakers, who were Wang Feng's team, were sandwiched in the middle, saying that it was very uncomfortable.

This TM is really lying down and getting shot.

The Lakers had to stand up and speak out in favor of both the league's support for free speech and Mr. Wang's advocacy for his country.

This kind of thing is helpless many times, it completely belongs to Mo Gou alone, and it is disgusting to everyone.

There is no way, after all, the NBA league is a business league affiliated with the United States, and their position determines that it is impossible to support Huaguo in this matter.

And the Lakers, as a team in the NBA league, are no different.

Everyone was implicated in this incident.

The NBA league has lost a lot of commercial cooperation with Huaguo, especially the Rockets, due to the relationship between Da Yao, a large part of the Rockets' commercial income sources are from Huaguo, and with Mo Gou's high-mouthed, the Rockets' commercial income is at least discounted.

Wang Feng estimated that a year later, Mo Gou took the initiative to resign from the position of general manager of the rocket, and I am afraid it was not entirely his own idea.

After all, even if the boss of Team Rocket is forced by the pressure of politicians from all walks of life in the United States, he does not dare to act directly on the surface, but he must hate Mo Gou in his heart.

(Due to some 404 reasons, writing this paragraph is a bit constrained, and I dare not write it too bluntly and in detail, so I will roughly express the attitude and practices of the protagonist and then skip it.) ）

……

After Wang Feng publicly refused to participate in all preseason games, he negotiated with the team, left the team directly, and took a plane to the United States, and the team of Yao Zhi communicated and contacted many talk shows in the United States.

As a country that advertises free speech, it also has some conveniences, such as when you want to scold someone.

After the Mogou incident, many talk shows scolded him, including many retired players and media reporters in the NBA league, who all caught Mogou and sprayed him.

The league needs to look at the eyes of the United States government, but they are not scared at all, and even they can't wait to rely on this matter to make a small fire, if they can win the favor of Chinese fans, they have the opportunity to go to the Chinese circle again and make money.

That's right, I'm afraid that not many of these people who spray dogs are really because of the incident itself, but for various purposes.

But no matter what their purpose was, at least they scolded Mo Gou and disgusted each other.

Wang Feng's move is also aimed at this.

Wang Feng, who is incarnated as a troll, has scolding skills that no one can match, if Mo Gou sees the relevant talk show clips about Wang Feng, it is estimated that he will be angry to death.

Of course, even so, there are some bar spirits who will still be dissatisfied and question Wang Feng.

"What kind of plane? Other stars have refused to cooperate with the NBA, and you, Wang Feng, as a representative figure of Chinese basketball, only missed a few preseason games and the regular season game with the Rockets? You should announce your withdrawal from the NBA and refuse to continue playing for the league! ”

This kind of person belongs to the typical standing and talking without backache, standing on the moral high ground to accuse others, it is really his turn, and it may be nothing.

Wang Feng did not quit the NBA, of course, not because it brought him huge financial losses.

Wang Feng is no short of money now.

The salary he has earned in the past few years is enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life, and even if he does not play in the NBA, Wang Feng can still earn a lot of money when he returns to the domestic CBA.

But doing so is too cheap for the other party.

Wang Feng withdrew from the league, and it was he and the Lakers who suffered the loss of interests, which had no impact on Mo Gou at all.

But in the NBA, Wang Feng can disgust this product in various ways, and participating in talk shows is just one part of this, and there are more follow-up opportunities!
